MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) is allowing face-to-face classes at 50 percent capacity in areas under Alert Level 2 such as Metro Manila as long as faculty members and students are fully vaccinated and approval from the respective local government unit (LGU) has been secured.
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque announced this Friday, stressing that four guidelines have to be followed for the conduct of the limited face-to-face classes including:
- Fully vaccinated faculty and students
- A maximum of 50% room capacity
- Concurrence/support from LGUs concerned
- Retrofitting of facilities to be used for limited face to face classes as inspected and authorized by CHED
“Pe-pwedeng magkaroon na ng limited face-to-face pero hindi po yan instant. Hindi pa po magkakaroon ng limited face-to-face sa Lunes,” Roque said in a press briefing.
“Kinakailangan muna pumayag ang mga LGUs at saka kailangan mag retrofit ng mga classrooms,” he added.
